	The <b>ftp::Newer</b> command has the same behavior as <b>ftp::Get</b>, except
	that it gets the remote file only if the modification time of
	the remote file is more recent that the file on the local
	system.  If the file does not exist on the current system, the
	remote file is considered newer.

	<p>If the file was successfully transferred, then the command
	returns 1, if it fails 0. </p>
